My favourite animal - 3rd Grade

I developedwith mythird-year studentsaproject onanimals.First we practiced how to describe some animals(physical characteristicsand abilities). Some of the activities we did topractice vocabulary were:

- Mime game: I showedaflashcardof an animal to a student andhe/she shouldmime it for a classmateto guess. The student who guessed itfirstwould go to thefront of the classroomto continue toplay the game.-Guessinggame:I starteddescribingananimalfor the studentsto guess(eg.It's black,it's gottwowings,itcan fly,itcan notclimb,etc.).The student whoguessed it wouldgo to thefront of the classroomto describeanotheranimal.The modelof the sentences was on the boardto help studentsmakethe description.- Hangman: I dividedthe class intoboysand girlsto play hangman. I startedwriting the first word on the blackboard and the student who guessed the word correctly could go to the blackboard to keep playing it. Afterenoughpractice of vocabulary, students filled in on their books some sentences describing their favorite animaland drew it on a separate sheet of paper. In anotherclass,we went to thecomputer labfor them totype in their text about their favourite animal.With the help of the computerteacher, we prepareda presentationof the students' workto puton the school website.Seesome models below.
